I learn Wind with the Sandpie

[Rayder]

I wait patiently for Kuparika Sandpie. I practice blowing vigorously in the hope that this will help me learn faster.

 

['Kurapika]

Answer the following:
What is fuuton?
What is the difference between fuuton and doton?
How does fuuton interact with other elements?
What are the useful aspects and difficulties of fuuton?

If I spot any mistakes, I'll be correcting them later on. Unless they're too big to postpone.

 

[Rayder]

1) Fuuton is practically the Wind element which is used in Narutoverse. It mainly focuses around cutting and severing but has a lot of other uses too. It is the most precise of all the elements and is very varied in its use.

2) Fuuton is wind whereas Doton is Earth. Fuuton mainly is about attacking and mobility while Doton is more about defence and is more stationary. Wind is used from the users own body while Earth normally use the surrounding environment to base its attacks on. While wind being the most precise and piercing of the elements, Earth would be the most blunt.

3) Fuuton is weak against Katon due to it just fanning and strengthen the flames. Fuuton is strong against Raiton because it weakens the intensity of the electricity and cancels it out.

4) Fuuton is useful for when you want to pierce or penetrate something. Fuuton chakra can also be applied on weapons to increase their damage capability and range. Fuuton allows you to move around more and is very mobile type of element. It however can be very blunt and destructive in certain attacks.

Hmm, beautiful!
But don't you think the fact that Wind Release is based on wind, which is the force pushing air, whilst Doton is uses actual masses of earth to be a big difference? Katon, Raiton, Fuuton are all energy based elements, unlike Doton and Suiton. Both kinds have advantages and disadvantages though.

Well, now we get to the fun part! or not.. Here, take this. *Hands you a piece of paper*
I want you to steadily channel your fuuton chakra into the paper for as long as you can, and while you do that try not to get distracted by anything and feel the breeze of air as it hits your skin. Focus on the sensation of the wind as the breeze gets stronger. Once I see a change happen to the paper, I'll pat you on the shoulder telling you to stop.

 

[Rayder]

I place the paper in the middle of my palm and cover it with my free hand. I start channeling my chakra into the leaf. I start to think about the nature of wind . I hear a calm breeze and it sounds like the wind is whistling. The sensation on the back of my ears and neck gives me goosebumps. I remain calm and synchronize my breathing with the rhythmic peaceful sounds of the wind. But then suddenly the wind seems to have become furious leaving my robes and hair flying around. Its wrath seems to be unstoppable and my skin feels like its going to rip apart. But as instantly as it came, it leaves and the wind becomes a calm gale and I enjoy the feel of it on my skin.

 

['Kurapika]

*Pats you on the shoulder*
Enough, that will do.
Notice how the paper split perfectly? That tells you much about the nature of fuuton chakra. It manipulates pressure, the pressure of air to be precise. It can be all gathered up into an edge for a sharp effect, or be used more bluntly, but the concept in principle is still the same.

Now I want you to inhale as much air as your lungs can take, then channel your chakra into it with the same sensation you felt earlier. Once you can maintain that sensation the follows manipulating your chakra's nature into fuuton chakra, try to control the air in your lungs using your chakra. Compress it and increase its sharpness by adding to its pressure. Then release it onto the ground in a not so sharp angle in order to cause sand/dust to be blown.

 

[Rayder]

I inhale air until I feel like my lungs can't take any more and then channel my chakra through my through and the air. I try to get the exact same sensation I got when I was at one with the wind and listen to the whistling once more. I compress the air one last time before releasing it on the ground, and while releasing it I continue to tilt my head at a sharp angle so dust and sand is blown into the air all around me.

This takes me back to my fourth question, precisely the difficulties you might face when using fuuton. Most fuuton jutsu need a physical space to build momentum within. You need to actually create a gust of wind in a fair amount of its techniques, and that is done by either exhaling the wind from your mouth or using a fan or by channeling your chakra into an area and causing the air to move. So, say you get trapped within a narrow area using doton, you can't use a couple of them, or if you get trapped within a water technique, you won't be able to inhale the wind in order to exhale it, and the fan usage comes with its own bundle of limitations similar to the earlier.

Now as for this jutsu, it has a bunch of uses. You can use the sand/dust to blind your opponent, or you can make the ground slippery, which is useful when jumping from tree to tree or similar cases. I'd use it simultaneously with the throwing of a kunai.

You've learnt:
(Fūton: Fūsajin no Jutsu) - Wind Release: Dust Wind Technique

Spoiler

Type: Defence
Rank: D
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user creates a gust of wind that layers an area in loose sand and dust. Doing so also acts as a sandblaster on the surrounding area. This layer of sand that accumulates on the trees during this technique makes it difficult for others to get a good footing. The initial gust can also temporarily blind opponents by lodging sand in their eyes

As for out next jutsu, I want you to to spread your fuuton chakra infront of you. Manipulate it to increase its sharpness and density, then make it rotate creating a small tornadoes.
This tornado can help you against some taijutsu attacks as well as defending you against projectile weapons and such. But be careful, the rotating wind can be taken advantage of! But that can be a good thing if you're the one taking advantage, so elaborate on this jutsu'd flaws and how you'd use them if your opponent was using this jutsu.
Jutsu's name is Rumbling wind wall.

 

[Rayder]

I spread my Fuuton chakra in front of me and increase its density. I focus on also increasing its sharpness to allow it to defend me against any incoming projectiles. I then rotate the wind furiously to cause small tornadoes to form which are even able to defend against Taijutsu attacks.

Disadvantages
If the opponent throws an explosive at the rumbling wind wall, there is a high risk of me being injured by it.
If the opponent used this jutsu, I would probably use a Fire technique to harm him.

Sorry for the delay. Like sorry big time. O_O

Description: User creates a wall of spinning wind in front of him that is used to push back weapons thrown towards him. It can also be used against taijutsu close range attacks, but the wall can be pushed back with a stronger wind jutsu or if a smoke bomb or explosive tag touches the spinning wind they will automatically get activated because of the sharpness of the wind element, damaging the user also.

Our next technique is quite simple. Channel your chakra into your lungs and inhale air as you compress it using your chakra. The exhale it regularly to create a stream. This stream can be used to change your direction in mid air or to cause a dust cloud by targeting it at the ground.

[Rayder]

No problem

I jump forward towards you and as I am in mid-air I channel my wind chakra in my lungs and inhale as much air as I can. I compress it into my mouth and then release it to create a small stream. I aim this at the ground below me which pushes me back up and away from you.

Description: This technique allows the user to change direction in mid-air at high speeds by simply blowing wind out their mouth. The user can also use this technique by blowing it at the ground and causing a dust cloud to rise, concealing the users location and movement.

Next jutsu is called Wind Rock Barrage. Basically, you'll make a very high pressured stream of wind capable of lifting rocks and your opponent.
It's very useful in the in the aspect that your opponent, if he chooses to spam elemental disadvantages, might forget to use a fire jutsu strong enough to blow the rocks back which will result is flaming rocks hitting him despite his counter.

I make a controlled but high pressure stream of wind and use my fuuton chakra to lift several rocks up off the ground. I then aim the stream at the rocks making them be carried by the wind towards your clone making them hit them.

Now, from now on, we'll be learning two jutsu per post. But before that, you'll need to demonstrate your mastery of D-ranks by making a move based on a D-rank Futon jutsu, the D-rank Futon jutsu you'll be combining with any other jutsus from the list, just make a good combo.
Then I want you to counter your move.

I inhale air into my lungs and then mix my Fuuton with it until I can't hold any more in my mouth. I compress the air and then release it at the ground tilting my head so the dust is blown around me blocking me from your view. I then raise my hand in front of me quickly and fire a bolt of lightning shaped like a horn at you while hidden.

Your attack:
1st) I wouldn't advise using raiton techniques when adapting a stealthy strategy, since raiton is known for its loud noise.
2nd) I don't see the point in creating a dust storm when you're just going to attack afterwords the way you did. You're just giving your opponent the opportunity to attack you after the Dust technique and before the lightning. Perhaps it would've been better to take advantage of the sand to hide underground or so, but that's still not a good opening. Overall, I wouldn't advise you to use a defensive jutsu as an opening jutsu.

Your counter:
1st) You should pay better attention to your wording. If your four pillar bind technique only strikes when the dust storm settles, then it's too late to save you.
2nd) It's better if you try to counter the first jutsu directly. You could always action from the moment the opponent starts blowing air for creating the dust. Always try to give your opponent as few chances as possible.
It would be much better if you use the stone spikes on your opponent right after he begins using his wind jutsu.

Sorry if I sound too blunt, I'm only trying to help you improve.
I'll be teaching you the next jutsu in another post. ^^

 

['Kurapika]

First jutsu we're gonna learn is called Gale Palm Technique. It's pretty simple and basic, you simply channel your fuuton chakra into your palms and spreading it in the air surrounding it. You'll gather the air into the area between your palms as you clap. When you clap the pressure of the air reaches the possible limit and will cause a strong blow of wind. You can use this right after you through a shuriken or kunai to increase its speed.

Next just is as simple. You channel your fuuton chakra to your shuriken. After coating the shuriken in condensed fuuton chakra, throw the shuriken as you make your chakra rotate rapidly. This will increase the speed of and damage deflected by your shuriken.

[Rayder]

I channel my Fuuton chakra into my palms and gather the air into the small space between my palms as I lift them up. I then clap my hands together triggering the gathered Fuuton chakra to expand and spread into the surrounding area causing a small blow of wind in front of me.

---

This time I focus my chakra more instead of just unleashing it and channel my Fuuton chakra into a few shuriken and concentrate to condense it to a more solid form and so are able to coat the shuriken. I then throw them at a nearby tree and while in the air they rotate rapidly increasing its speed.

 

['Kurapika]

No interesting stuff you could find? Perhaps using Gale Palm with a katon jutsu you breath out could make a good combination, seeing how it only requires a clap.
You've learnt:

Damage Points: 30
Description: A simple technique that when the users hands are clapped together, wind is compressed and transformed into a powerful gale. This technique, when used as an isolated attack has the power to easily knock over a human. Though the true value comes from using it together with projectile weapons like shuriken or kunai. Their speed, power, and ability to wound or even kill are all increased several times.

(Fūton: Kaiten Shuriken) - Wind Release: Rotating Shuriken

Description: This technique will infuse wind-based chakra into bladed weapons. The user can than manipulate the blades in a spinning manner to attack the target.

Next we learn Great Break Through. Spread your chakra into the air all around you, by manipulating the pressure in a horizontal tube area surrounding you, you can create an extremely strong gust of wind that can blow away anything standing in its path.
This jutsu is great for combos, Gaara used it with his sand. Try to think of other possible uses.

Next jutsu, Sickle Weasel Technique, is originally a fan technique used by Tamari, but you can overcome that by creating the needed gust of wind with your lungs. Simply inhale air and infuse it with your fuuton chakra, then manipulate its pressure and make it as sharp as possible, then finally exhale the wind.

[Rayder]

I have no Katon jutsu. :T_T:

I spread my Fuuton chakra into the air and manipulate so as its pressure is a horizontal tube area surrounding you, and then use the same chakra to create a strong gust of wind aimed directly at a small nearby tree following the tube area, uprooting it and knocking it over.
Well this could be used in combination with certain Doton jutsu to send the rocks as projectiles at an opponent. It can also even be used on objects in the surrounding area to send them flying at the opponent.

---

I loudly inhale the air and infuse it with my Fuuton chakra and then slowly compress it. I then carefully manipulate the wind and add more pressure to it to make it as sharp as possible. I then exhale the wind out in front of me.
